Book Shelves at Ipswich and Colchester Hospital Libraries
Thousands of books waiting to be discovered by you

It includes records for most books held within NHS Libraries across the East of England. ESNEFT staff can borrow most of these books (unless stated otherwise) and reserve them directly through the catalogue.
